British Terrazzo - Maconda

British Terrazzo

British terrazzo tells the story of our local landscapes. Aggregates sourced throughout Britain result in a local low-carbon Terrazzo.

Made of the British Landscape

The UK, with its bustling cities and its beautiful vistas, provides the heart and soul of this terrazzo

Upcycling in the UK

Aggregates sourced from quarries in the British Isles as well as urban demolition are combined with a low carbon cement.

A Green Industrial Revolution

A uniquely British product. The first of its kind sourced in the UK and manufactured in Manchester, birthplace of the industrial revolution.

Every tile tells a story about a place in Britain. From the highlands of Scotland to the moors of Devon, the dales of Derbyshire to the valleys of Wales, the story of the British Landscape is told through terrazzo.

Don't waste

REMAKE

With the advent of our low carbon cement technology, terrazzo has the potential to be the ultimate circular construction product, providing architects and designers with the opportunity to upcycle materials from old buildings and repurpose them into new terrazzo surfaces!

By reusing materials from buildings designated for demolition or upgrade, not only can an enormous amount of CO2 waste be prevented, but the story and character of the old building can be brought into the new. The built environment offers a veritable treasure trove of materials just waiting to be reused – from glass to metals, concrete, stone, bricks and even timber – all kinds of materials can be repurposed and re-incorporated!

FACTS

British Terrazzo

With delays at the ports, haulage costs at record highs, and embodied carbon being imported into the UK in the millions of tonnes; something has to change.

The solution needed to be homegrown. Here in the UK, we’re not as good as our continental friends at producing marble on a large scale, but we are excellent at making aggregates – gravel or stone chippings to you and me, which are used for building roads and houses. It also happens that if you wash and polish these aggregates, they transform into beautiful lustrous surfaces, rich in colour and character.

So the idea for an exclusively UK-sourced aggregate terrazzo was born.

Upcycling Waste

Terrazzo was originally conceived as a way to use up discarded marble chips and aggregates -by upcycling construction waste and binding it with cement, new premium surfaces are created. Waste aggregates from quarries, construction sites and demolition can now be turned into beautiful surface finishes.

Reduce Carbon

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is the most used construction material in the world. Its versatility is well known, but as the world’s third highest source of man-made CO2, something has to change. Most terrazzo uses Portland Cement to bind the aggregates together. We use an alternative low-carbon binder instead. By utilising a by-product of the steel industry to make next-generation Alkali-Activated Cementitious Material (AACM) we can reduce our reliance on OPC by up to 50%.

Source Local

Transportation is already one of the world’s biggest sources of greenhouse gases, and its emissions are predicted to grow dramatically. Terrazzo originates from Venice and today a large part of the terrazzo still comes from Italy. For UK customers this translates into large amounts of road miles and pollution. We take everything from within the UK, vastly lowering transport emissions from alternative terrazzo products. We also support local economies and employment.
